    Who is actually running the country?

    It cannot be Joe Biden. He doesn't know what planet he's on half the time. This is the greatest fraud ever hoisted on the American people. Why can't we know who is really pulling the strings? Is it Obama, in violation of the 2 term limit? That is my suspicion. The people who say "we're...

    Dahua, the winner of the $50 camera contest!

    DH-IPC-HFW1230S1-S5. It's a 2MP camera I got off AliExpress for $50 delivered. I still haven't really tweaked the settings much, but I'm guessing this is close to what it can do. At the farthest, it's 35 feet away,

    Joes latest verbal misadventure.

    “By the way, I’m proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman, to serve with a black president,” So he's a black woman. I always KNEW he was hiding something. Seriously, I give him one more month before they force him out.

    Funning 12 volt devices with a POE switch for electricity only.

    I'd like to do it by using the POE switch for electricity only. You get very little energy loss vs 12v when you run 48 volts and then step it back down to 12v with a splitter. Not to mention that the cabling is a lot more friendly than running wires for 110v. This is for long runs across my...

    Night issues, can lower end Dahaus help me?

    I've got a lot of lower-end cameras, all of which work well in the day. The best I have are Reolink 811-A's. I do have an EmpireTech Starlight camera which gets a tag number flawlessly. In general, the daytime is simple. I have 4mp and 5 mp cameras that do quite well. I have enough...
